There are a lot of places to buy home furnishings, but none was as beloved this year in the Beach Cities as Fringe in Redondo Beach. Previously in Lomita, Fringe moved to a storefront in Riviera Village about four years ago.
“We have customers that followed us here,” said Debbie Talosi, who co-owns the store with partner Laura Hoffman. “We have a good little community here now.”
The store carries an array of one-of-a-kind items including pieces by local artists, furniture, gifts, pillows, jewelry and other home accessories. Open 7-days a week, Debbie said the store will start staying open late on Thursdays and may get other stores to do the same.
